A 3D Web To Spin

In the most unsurprising news all-day, Spider-Man Reboot (as I am calling it for the moment) will be in 3D and released on July 3, 2012. In other date news, Mission Impossible IV will be released May 27 2011.

Casting of The Man

Spider-Man that is. The Spider-Man reboot fiasco continues, as two people have been discussed to play Peter Parker. First up is Logan Lerman. This kid will play Percy Jackson in The Lightning Thief film and has had some early talks. He said he's "a fan of the series...I'd love to focus on the human elements of it". He might do well. At least better than the 2nd option.

That second option is Zac Efron. This is one that seems to have momentum as several outlets have reported it. It seems Tobey Maguire has given Zac his blessing and Zac really wnats to do it.

I guess this casting could be put in a book called "How To Kill Your Franchise"

More Web News

God, it seems like every day I get more and more news about the Spider-Man reboot. However, the plot is going to be based upon The Ultimate Spider-Man comics, where Peter Pakrer's teen angst were the main part and the web-slinging was a bonus.

The budget is supposed to be around 80 million and cast unknowns, thoug hthe yaRE going fo ra big name for the villain (John Malkovich as The Vulture is still psossible). This still sounds iffy to me, but I guess unknown casting rules out Tyler Lautner.

The Rumors Are True

IT seems Marc Webb will direct Spider-Man "The Awful Reboot" after all. I must admit THIS intrigues me. Just...please no Tyler Lautner as Peter Parker, alright?

Breaking News: Spider-Man Got Rebooted!!!!!!!!!

Holy crackers and cheese, Sony has pulled the reboot button on Spider-Man. Due to script problems, they have decided to put the 2 billion dollar franchise into overdirve. The following is what Sony announced:

"A decade ago we set out on this journey with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire and together we made three 'Spider-Man' films that set a new bar for the genre. When we began, no one ever imagined that we would make history at the box-office and now we have a rare opportunity to make history once again with this franchise. Peter Parker as an ordinary young adult grappling with extraordinary powers has always been the foundation that has made this character so timeless and compelling for generations of fans. We're very excited about the creative possibilities that come from returning to Peter's roots and we look forward to working once again with Marvel Studios, Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin on this new beginning," said Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Me, I don't like the idea. It just sounds like they have no faith in Sam Raimi. I'm dissapointed. Expect a LOT of insults at Sony this coming weeks.

Being The Vulture

Continuing the complicated Spider-Man 4 storyu, John Malkovich has come forward and confirmed that he was set to play The Vulture!! Not only that, but he wants filming to start soon and saw the previous version of the script. I think John would work well here, though I hope The Lizard is a seocnd villain.

Tobey on Spider-Man 4 Delays

Interestingly enough, Tobey Maguire has commented on a webcam chat that Spider-Man 4 is just having some normal problems and that it's "...a big undertaking". He also notes of some sort of evolution of Peter Parker. Now THAT has my mind whirring.

Strangely enough, Spidey has yet to move his May 6, 2011 date even though Thor has moved in there. Where will the Spider go? Only time will tell.

Avatar Box Office Part VII: #2 Ain't a Bad Place

Avatar has just surpassed The Reutrn of The King to become the 2nd biggest film of all-time with 1.1 billion. It's total in the US pushed it as it has now made 374 million, becoming the 12th biggest film of all-time surpassing Spider-Man 2. This film just won't stop making money. Who else wants to bet that it'll surpass Titanic?

Spider-Man Zips off, Thor & Pirates Move

Spider-Man 4 was announced yesterday to have troubles with the script, putting it's May 6, 2011 date in jeopardy. Thor has moved up to that date. Plus, Pirates 4 has moved up one week to where Thor was. I don't think Spider-Man 4 will make it into 2011. 2012 perhaps?

This is quite a development. I'll keep an eye on this one.

I like this guy. Hope he has fun in Thor.
